How is Blue Medicare Advantage different
from Medicare Supplement* insurance?

Medicare Supplement insurance is designed to pay
some of the health care costs that Original Medicare
doesn't cover: copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Blue Medicare Advantage provides all of the services
that Original Medicare covers, plus includes prescription
drug coverage (Part D) and additional benefits.

Blue Medicare Advantage premiums apply to
residents of Bernalillo and Sandoval counties in
New Mexico only.

How do you decide which is
right for you?

The plan you have now may still be
the right choice. However, this might
be the right time to do a quick coverage
check and consider some basic essentials:

Your doctor: Blue Medicare Advantage uses a network of providers so you need to be sure your doctor is in the network or choose one who is. Visit www.mybluemapd.com/providers/nm or call to review the doctors on the plan.

Do you
have prescription medications?
Even if you don’t, you still need
to consider having prescription
drug coverage to protect yourself
against unexpected costs. Both
Blue Medicare Advantage and
Medicare Part D cover prescription
drugs. Make sure yours are on our
formulary. Visit www.myprime.com to check.

Copays and coinsurance
for doctor visits, tests and
prescription drugs

Deductibles are part of some
plans

When can I enroll in Blue
Medicare Advantage?

The Annual Enrollment Period is
October 15 – December 7. During
this time anyone can enroll, switch or
drop a Medicare Advantage plan. Your
coverage will begin on January 1. If you
enroll in a Blue Medicare Advantage
plan you will need to continue paying
your Medicare Part B premium as well
as any premium charged by the plan.
